This textbook provides students with basic literacy on key issues related to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the United States. Over twelve chapters, it employs critical race theory and intersectionality to promote critical thinking and civic engagement on issues such as American culture, gendered racism, and Black reparations. Each chapter employs interactive and engaging opportunities to learn, making it the ideal introductory resource for undergraduate students. The text is structured around real-world stories, which exemplify the humanity of each person and the complexity of these issues. Causadias presents questions for further discussion or to enhance comprehension, defines key concepts, debunks popular myths, summarizes evidence from trusted sources that challenge misinformation and disinformation, and proposes in-class exercises. Curated reading lists can be found at the end of every chapter for readers to expand their understanding of different topics. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
